Hello all
Im new here so wazzzzup
Anyways I've recently become obsessed with the whole amp/stereo/speakers/turntables/stereo systems/vinyl and Im loving it.
I recently picked up a Sanyo System 566 that is 4 parts: A turntable, tape player, AM FM Tuner, and a receiver/amplifier.
Everything works great except the right channel plays no sound. I have tried troubleshooting all three sources and all three dont play audio through the right channel- at all it's completely silent. I tried plugging headphones in and again no sound through the right earbud. I tried switching the speakers and the speaker wire - still no sound. I plugged the turntable in on a different amp just to be sure and it plays through both speakers with a little finaggling of the stereo plugs. So needless to say I know it is the amp that is the problem but I have no idea how I would go about fixing it or how much of a hassle it would be or how much it would cost to pay someone to fix it.
Right now i have two speakers hooked up to it in series through the left channel and my lion king soundtrack tape seemed to play fine but when i put the stones vinyl on the lack of stereo was very noticeable.
I would be willing to settle for some kind of mono adapter that will change the stereo on the turntable to mono if it's not too pricey or if that exists. But I would rather have it work properly if I can.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

There seems to be little info freely available on these models. I would suggest posting some good pictures of the internals of the amp, good close ups of the pc boards top and bottom. Many fellows around here can tell a lot just from pics.

Before getting your hopes up, do you have a Digital Multimeter to run some basic DC health checks on the amplifier? If you hope to do repairs without the right tools you won't get far unless its a dumb error or a mechanical contact issue.
An initial question - when you turn it on, there should be a short delay and a relay kicks in, joining the amplifiers to the speaker terminals. If you hear sound in at least 1 channel then this must be happening, as I assume that's a relay at the end of that bundle of wires from the speaker terminals back to the centre of the amp. When you switch on, is there a click and even the faintest sound in the quiet channel?
